Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God , Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and bring Him your prayers and songs of thanksgiving.
Thank Him for 5 good gifts in this past week, 3 people currently in your life and 1 Bible verse that has meant something recently to you.

Father God – thank You.
Son of God – thank You.
Holy Spirit of God – thank You.
Amen.
